How employees describe working at Bluebeam

Good and productive very much
Overall company culture is good, but can vary by team. My group is very close and enjoys working with each other. Innovation had slowed down in recent years, but the new leadership has redirected company focus on the future.

What's the work from home policy like at Bluebeam?
A strict policy is required to work from home more than a one-off time. Management and HR approval is required, but so far is usually given.
Remote work policies are agreed upon when you interview/are offered. It depends on the role and team and if the work can be done remotely/how much in person collaboration is needed. But, if you start in your role with no WFH, you can apply for it through your manager after 1 year to see if it's a good fit for your position moving forward.
Depends on the department and manager, but generally not allowed
